A message from the series “Pressing On: The Book of Hebrews.” Again with the “order of Melchizedek?” Let’s be honest; what was so important back then about a figure that is mentioned only a few times?

A message from the series “Pressing On: The Book of Hebrews.” Whom amongst your friends or family can you most depend upon to keep their promises? It’s a wonderful character trait to experience in another person. Have you experienced the pain and disappointment of broken promises and broken trust? It can make it very difficult to trust other people. Over the past 2 weeks, the writer of Hebrews has been encouraging his friends to engage in the effort needed to continue on their path towards maturity despite the challenging circumstances in which they find themselves.

A message from the series “Pressing On: The Book of Hebrews.” We are BACK in Hebrews this week! What a way to get back in to it: “For the word of God is alive and active.
